Planting Roses

Roses are usually planted into the ground in early Spring or late Fall. A late Fall planting is done in climates where the rose will have a decent chance of going dormant over Winter but not getting frozen to death.

During this time the rose is busy making new roots, so it will get a head start when Spring rolls around.

Spring planting is done after the danger of a hard freeze is past. You will still need to protect your rose from heavy frosts, but after that peril is past, your rose will start putting out new roots and new shoots. Leaves will begin appearing and your new rose is on its way!

The following articles contain information about how to plant roses, and details about how different conditions affect your work. We hope that these articles help you enjoy your roses and to realize that roses are easy and fun!

If you have questions about any of the articles, send email to the contact person listed at the top of each article or to the E.Rose Committee.
